City Council Minutes June 13, 2011 Page 4 5.2. Discussion on City Administrator Selection Process Mayor Dietz introduced Sharon Klumpp, Senior Vice President of Springsted Incorporated. • Ms. Klumpp addressed the council and explained the interview process that took place earlier that day. She interviewed the Mayor, Councilmembers, and members of the management team to find out the current and future needs of what the consulting firm should look for in an interim cit<~ administrator as well as a permanent city administrator. She first explained the role of an interim administrator as someone that can manage transition and prepare the organization for the new cite administrator. She stated no big changes should occur but the momentum of continuing projects should continue. She was able to get a sense of the current staff levels along with workload and priorities, and areas that were of importance to all, which included team building and communications. She felt comfortable that she had an excellent feel for what the city needed and was confident that she could come up with a list of possible applicants to interview. Interc-iew date was tentatively set for June 27 and resumes' would be provided once she determined who should interview. It was the consensus of the council to have Ms. Klumpp work with Mayor Dietz on the information for the June 27~ meeting. 5.5. Beach Posting Police Ms. Haug presented the staff report. Councilmember Zerwas requested clarification of the polity. Ms. Haug explained the average of five swiuitning beach samples in a 30-day period should not exceed a count of more than 200 fecal coliform bacteria colonies per 100 mL of water, and that no one sample should exceed 1,000 fecal coliform bacteria colonies per 100 mL of water. Councilmember Motin and Westgaard stated it would seem more difficult to work with a five week average instead of the two averages a week.
